Not OP, but sure, if I spend a few hours as a new Windows programmer I can finally make my native Windows application not flicker on resize, but that's most likely not it, there's probably a stload of other things I have to spend a few hours on to get things somewhat properly-working. It's a massive cost compared to what default web already offers. Then I have to repeat that same years-long process for Android, iOS, OSX and Linux. Or I can just make a web application that's slightly slower. The decision was super simple for me. F* native development of UIs, it's stuck, everyone in it think it's fine - it probably is if it's all you do - but what matters a lot of the time is the sum of development cost across all supported platforms. shudder That means it's especially horrible if it's just you developing something, the chance that a single developer could support all of the most used platforms (Win, Linux, OSX, Android, iOS) is so unlikely due to the time required to learn just a single one of those platforms.
